That's because the apparent range is still the range to the target.
A stealth-2 ship at 16 MU should _not_ show up in targeting as being  
at 24 MU.

However, a stealth-2 ship at 17 MU perhaps _should_ get the "out of  
range" flag when targeted by a B2. I don't know how much trouble that  
would be to code, though.
